120-millimeter shells would do much more damage than that, either fake or 60 mm. Anyway, If you sit next to armed terrorists like nothing happens serving as their human shields, don't get surprised by things like this one.

As the rounds kept falling, one struck in the yard between her home and Mr. Kharkovsky’s. The shrapnel blew out all four windows on the side of her house that faced the blast.

It also perforated the house’s gas lines. Oleg managed to switch the gas off before dawn, or an explosion.

On Monday, Mr. Kharkovsky, 75, a retired electrician from an old Soviet-era high-voltage insulator factory, tended his garden to the sounds of gunfire. He stepped past shattered beehives, beside rows of spring garlic.

Like many in Slovyansk, he felt stuck in a fight he did not want. “We can’t leave, we have nowhere to go,” he said. “We’re old pensioners and this is our home.”

Ms. Romanika agreed. “My mind is filled with fog,” she said. “Fog and fear, but fear most of all. I just want peaceful skies, a small pension that actually comes, and a piece of bread. That’s all.”

These are the type of stories that bear witness to the mendacity of the puppet regime in Kiev.

The notion that the United States is contemplating military support for a government engaged in this type of behavior is despicable.
